Good Morning!!

Hope you all are enjoying your Sunday!!  

I have been playing along with Splitcoaststampers Hope You Can Cling To Challenge. This has really been fun.  Sparkle N Sprinkle is one of the sponsor so we were asked to submit cards for this challenge.  At first I did not know if I could keep up with a card a day, but it has been so much fun!! 

I would like to share my last to cards with you today.

This one was for yesterday's challenge using the  Bokeh Techinque, Challenge #HYCCT1425.  I used SNS Tulips Stamp set  and A Little Note stamp set for the sentiment, along with Surf and Sparkling Snow glitter for the beautiful sparkle.  The image was colored with copic markers.  I found a Jolee  pink ribbon embellishment in my stash that fit perfect with my card.  This is a really fun technique you can find a tutorial Here at Splitcoast or Here at SNS.

Just so happened I finished this card on Friday and it fit this morning challenge Let's Cheer Challenge #HYCCT1426,  There were several requirement for this challenge:

B...use black   O...use at least one circle layer  O...use some type of round gem  B...use blue
S...use a sentiment

For this card I used the Digital Snow Family from Sparkle N Sprinkle.  Printed and colored the image with copic markers.  The dolly was embossed using Blue Silver EP.  For the pretty bling I used Mon Ami Gabby Diamond Mesh.  The image and snowflakes were glittered using Sparkling Snow.  I just loved how pretty this turned out.

I hope you all have time to visit the gallery on Splitcoaststampers for all the beautiful project for this challenge, and if you have time play along!!

Have a wonderful day thanks for stopping by and remember....Keep Stamping!!

Spring Flowers

Happy Monday everyone!!  We thought winter was done with south Texas, but we were wrong!!  It is to be in the 30's by morning.  Got to love Texas weather, just waiting a few minutes and it will change!!

I would like to share a card with you today using Sparkle N Sprinkle Magnolia Stamp Set.

I made easel card, using Spellbinder's Fancy Circle and Circle dies.  

The top circle was cut using sticker paper and Cloud Nine glitter. Using SNS tutorial stamping on glitter, stamp the sentiment on top.

  

The flowers were all stamped with black ink and colored with copic markers.  Fussy cut and place on edge of circle.

The bottom circle was embossed using Cuttlebug swirls embossing folder.  Using a blue ink lightly rub the top of the raised embossing.

Preschool Cutie!!

Good morning everyone, I hope spring has come for you all!!  It has been warmer here and my little granddaughter and I have started planting our flowers and as she calls it our food garden (aka herb garden)!  She is so much fun and she loves to help!!

Today I would like to share a layout featuring my granddaughter!  This is here first year of preschool and her school pictures were adorable.  Just had to do a layout with them.  So here is a look at my beautiful little cutie!!

I used stamps from Sparkle N Sprinkle, Tulips Stamp Set, and Magnolia Stamp Set just to name a few.  

To create the background I used embossing powder and Quatrefoil stencil.  Apply embossing powder remove the stencil and cover with Indian Spark EP, let dry that was the hardest part to WAIT!!  Once dry heat emboss for a beautiful background paper.

The flowers were die cut from Tim Holtz's Tattered Flowers dies.  I used my copic markers and with just a flicking stroke added the center color.  This turned out so pretty, I really loved the look.  The butterfly was die cut and edges inked.  For that pretty "Sparkle" I used Daisy Glitter.

The flower images were stamped with black ink and colored with copic markers.  They were then fussy cut and arranged on the page. 

This layout really turned out so pretty, and the cherry on the top was the Preschool Cutie!!

I hope you have enjoyed this layout as much as I did making it!!  This really is a "special" layout.

Double Heart Easel Card

I have been busy finishing up my Valentine's cards for this year, almost forget about them!  This month is just flying by.  Hope you all are having a wonderful week so far and staying warm!!

  

This really turned out so pretty!!

I used Spellbinder's Scalloped and Plain Heart Dies.  You can find a tutorial on how to create this card at Splitcoaststampers.  I used all Sparkle N Sprinkle products on this card.  For the card base I used the largest and 3rd largest scalloped hearts.  They were stamped with the Brocade Background stamp set and embossed with White Spark and Tinsel embossing powder. Several other size hearts were die cut and embossed using the same powders.

   

Using the Heart Wings stamp set, I stamped the February 14 image onto black cardstock using versamark and embossed with Tinsel embossing powder.  The stamped image was punched with a circle punch.
